There were mixed fortunes for the Prancing Horses in the last race as Charles Leclerc revived his championship hopes by galloping past Max Verstappen’s Red Bull three times to win the race, while the horses inside Carlos Sainz gave up as his engine spectacularly combusted as Ferrari’s reliability woes continued.
It’s expected to be another warm weekend at the Circuit Paul Ricard, with tyre preservation likely to play a key factor in who will triumph at the circuit. Red Bull’s rubber woes contributed to their downfall, and they won’t want Ferrari to build up a head of steam as we approach the summer break.
There will be a number of French drivers hoping to do well at their home race, including AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and Renault’s Esteban Ocon. Renault especially will be looking to assert themselves in the midfield battle against McLaren with both teams on level footing in the championship as they head into the race.
